Exploring the SS Bonaventure. Seen in “The Time Trap,” the twelfth episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series, the SS Bonaventure was lost during her third voyage in an area that came to be known as the Delta Triangle. In this special episode of Saturday Morning Trek—nearly a year in the making—host Aaron Harvey is joined by Lonnie McAfee to investigate this animated starship that features design elements that are a precursor to the famous Constitution class. We explore not only the ship itself, but the time period from which it may have come and the real-life history of vessels named Bonaventure. And, because Star Trek fans like to go one step beyond, we’ve also built the starship! Well, not a physical ship, but a 3D model created with input from design greats such as Doug Drexler and Rick Sternbach, as well the original designer, Bob Kline. So, buckle up and get ready to head back into the Delta Triangle!

The Pirates of Orion Review. Spock is dying and the only know cure is now in the hands of the Oreeons... Orions? Either way it's bad news!    In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, hosts Aaron Harvey and Adam Drosin talk about the best time of the year: Monster cereal season! That's right Halloween is just around the corner and that means Monster cereal will soon be on the shelf. They review the professional life of recently passed Len Wein, Star Trek comic writer and co-creator of classic characters like The Swamp Thing and Wolverine. Oh yeah, and they also discuss 'The Pirates of Orion' written by the youngest person to ever write a Star Trek script! Does it hold up? Does Kirk mispronounce sabotage? Does Spock live? Spoilers: Yes and no. You'll have to listen to see which answer applies to which question!

Star Trek’s Design Influences. Matt Jefferies, designer of the original Starship Enterprise, was less than complimentary when he saw its 24th-century incarnation in Star Trek: The Next Generation: “Gene asked me how I liked the show, and I said that he had taken the bridge of my ship and turned it into the lobby of the Hilton.” But throughout its 50-year history, Star Trek’s aesthetic has always moved with the times, assimilating current fashion trends and adapting basic designs to accommodate new ideas and new technologies. In this episode of Primitive Culture, host Duncan Barrett is joined by Trek.fm Art Director Aaron Harvey, who also hosts our Star Trek: The Animated Series show Saturday Morning Trek, to talk about the design influences that have shaped the look of Star Trek over the course of half a century—from the sleek, contoured stylings of Kirk’s original Enterprise to the rough-and-ready look of the USS Discovery. Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Matt Jefferies’s Aeronautical Influences (00:02:45) Color in TOS (00:17:02) The Motion Picture’s Sense of Scale (00:23:03) Nick Meyer’s Gritty Rebranding (00:28:46) Fan Designers and the USS Discovery (00:36:04) The Enterprise-D (00:45:45) Voyager’s Open-Plan Office (00:53:06) Okudagrams and LCARS (00:54:54) Deep Space Nine’s Alien Aesthetic (00:59:20) Designing for Prequels (01:05:15) Final Thoughts (01:15:04) Host Duncan Barrett Guest Aaron Harvey Production Tony Black (Editor) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Ken Tripp (Executive Producer) Norman C.

The Jihad. Kirk and Spock join the alien version of the Impossible Mission Force as they search for the soul of an ancient messiah figure on a planet that is constantly changing. In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, hosts Aaron Harvey and Adam Drosin take you across the “mad planet” in a vehicle that should have been an accessory for Star Trek Mego action figures! We discuss the difference between the Aurelians and the Skorr, the similarities between Lara and Doctor Who companion Leela, and how this may be the only time William Shatner pronounces sabotage correctly! So, settle in for an epic adventure that takes … er … all of two minutes! What?

The Eye of the Beholder review and watch-along. While investigating the disappearance of the USS Ariel crew, Kirk and company uncover a world where everything is perfect—a little too perfect. In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, hosts Aaron Harvey and Joe Slepski take you on a side journey through the works of the episode’s writer, David P. Harmon, to find out where Happy Days originated, the influence of the Magnificent Seven on Star Trek, and, of course, we answer the pressing question, "What is Brett Summers famous for?" Oh yes, and we also find out what happened to the crew of the Ariel. So get your DVDs, Blu-rays, or Netflix ready, grab a bowl of Quisp cereal, and join us in the wood-paneled den for this hybrid review and watch-along!

"Can you learn to see in the dark, Captain?" - Shinzon It was a dark movie. Literally and figuratively.  It ended up being the last of the Star Trek movies with the TNG cast.  But was it a worthy finale?? This week, the Trek Geeks will give their take on Star Trek: Nemesis.  Their memories of the 2002 film are not as positive as other feature films, and they will jump right into the reasons why this was a less than stellar big screen exit for Picard and his crew. Prime Directive violations, dark sets, "tired" acting.  This list goes on and on.  But fear not, there are plenty of things that the Geeks liked, and they will get into those too! Plus, perhaps the biggest announcement ever from our good friends at Star Trek Continues dropped this week!  Also, a familiar face recently got to test out the new Star Trek Bridge Crew virtual reality game.  What did she have to say? In addition, if you are attending San Diego ComicCon or STLV, you may want to make some room for a new con exclusive Holiday Keepsake ornament!  Finally, QMx is releasing a replica of a classic TOS piece of furniture and we have all the details for you!

We listen to a lot of podcasts. One of the ones we found last year was a fast-paced and energetic show called, "Two Guys One Trek." It's the journey of two friends through TOS: one who has seen it before, and the other who had seen every Trek series BUT the original. They think that Trek is best watched with a friend and we love going on this journey with them. It's a fresh and unique perspective on the series that started it all--and it's so much fun! They've just released their entire second season where ever you download podcasts, but this week they're making a special appearance on Trek Geeks. Join us as Ira Heinichen and Josh McClenney talk about why they started this podcast and we'll find out what episodes of The Original Series surprised them. Plus, we may iron out whether Josh was trapped in a cave throughout his childhood--the only possible reason he could have gone through all his time on this planet without seeing Kirk, Spock, and company. Good times. Plus, there's some news on the Rio All-Suites Hotel for all you STLV attendees and there's finally a nationwide premiere date for the "Remembering Leonard Nimoy" documentary!

Yesteryear watch-along. We all wish we could go back in time and help out our younger self—give advice, maybe tell our parents to be a bit more understanding. The more ambitious among us might pretend to be our own distant cousin, save our own life, and teach past us the Vulcan nerve pinch. That’s exactly what Spock does in the famous Star Trek: The Animated Series episode “Yesteryear.” In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, hosts Aaron Harvey and Joe Slepski engage in the show’s very first watch-along—which leaves us with more questions than it answers—including whether He-Man is actually Spock. So get your DVDs, Blu-rays, or Netflix ready, grab a bowl of your favorite cereal, and set out to Vulcan with us!

Star Trek has had a huge impact on pop culture throughout its 50 years. Many episodes have become a gold standard of television making, tackling issues of human interest and societal taboos. It has dealt with subjects such as love, death, sexuality, racism, racial and gender equality, and many more. Some episodes have even made lists of "Best episodes of television ever". And then there are episodes that fall short of the high bar that Star Trek is known for.  Some episodes miss the bar by a small amount, and others don't even come close to getting off the ground. One episode that sometimes shows up on worst of Trek lists is "Catspaw," the first episode produced for season two of the original Star Trek. In this episode of Melodic Treks, host Brandon-Shea Mutala is joined by Adam Drosin, co-host of Saturday Morning Trek, to discuss the episode "Catspaw" and its music composed by Gerald Fried.  Adam is one who champions and supports "Catspaw" with love, as a personal favorite episode, not deserving of its not-so-stellar reputation. So turn on a bright light and lock the doors as we dive into the spooky side of Trek.

The Animated Series - Essential Trek Philosophy.   In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morrison are joined by Aaron Harvey, Trek.fm's art director and host of Saturday Morning Trek, to discuss their top picks for "Essential Trek Philosophy" from Star Trek: The Animated Series. Although Star Trek: The Animated Series is written off by some fans as a mere cartoon with no official place in the Star Trek canon, Zachary, Mike, and Aaron show that The Animated Series is filled with big ideas for growing minds, children and adults alike, and that The Animated Series is firmly inline with the philosophical issues and ideals that constitute the essence of Star Trek.   Chapters  Welcome to Episode 45 (00:01:07)  Welcome Aaron Harvey (00:02:24)  Initial Thoughts about Star Trek: The Animated Series (00:03:45)  One of Our Planets is Missing (00:13:16)  The Infinite Vulcan (00:20:13)  Beyond the Farthest Star (00:23:22)  The Pirates of Orion (00:33:50)  The Survivor (00:40:07)  Bem (00:46:20)  Once Upon a Planet (00:50:13)  The Practical Joker (00:51:44)  Albatross (01:08:19)  Recap and Honorable Mentions (01:17:40)  Final Thoughts (01:25:39)   Hosts Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morrison   Guest Aaron Harvey   Production Mike Morrison (Editor and Producer) Ken Tripp (Executive Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Charlynn Schmiedt (Executive Producer) Patrick Devlin (Associate Producer) Kay Elizabeth Janeway (Associate Producer) Richard Marquez (Production Manager)   Send us your feedback! Twitter: @trekfm  Facebook: http://facebook.com/trekfm  Voicemail: http://www.speakpipe.com/trekfm  Contact Form: http://www.trek.fm/contact  Visit the Trek.fm website at http://www.trek.fm/  Subscribe in iTunes: http://itunes.com/trekfm   Support the Network! Become a Trek.fm Patron on Patreon and help us keep Star Trek talk coming every week.

Voyager as an Animated Series. Star Trek's animated series is an often overlooked edition in the show's extensive catalogue. Yes, it was short-lived and yes, it wasn't always good, but it also made the most of telling Star Trek stories in an animated format — especially on a ridiculously low budget. But when we say that The Animated Series has an important place in Trek lore, don't take our word for it; instead, tune into Trek.fm's Saturday Morning Trek, which explores all facets of Star Trek in the 1970s. In this episode of To the Journey, Char and Tristan ponder an animated version of Voyager. How would it be developed and distributed if it were being produced today? What sort of stories would it tell? How would animation lend itself to new things that couldn't have been done on the live action series? They think through these questions and more, so tune in and let us know what you think of the idea of an animated Voyager series. This week's show art by Gary Anderson.

Kerry O’Quinn Interview. To say that Kerry O’Quinn had an impact on sci-fi fans of the ‘70s and ’80s is like saying Gene Roddenberry may have had some influence on television. Starting in another genre—soap operas—Kerry and his partner built a publishing powerhouse and expanded to magazines like Cinematic, Future Life, Starlog, and Fangoria, which is still being published today. In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, host Aaron Harvey is joined by O’Quinn to share how he was writing a blog before there was such a thing, how he brought Star Trek and Star Wars together, and why so many people told him he was going to hell. Maybe he will run into Lucien there! Friend, Kerry!

Once Upon a Planet. The Enterprise crew revisits the fondly remembered "amusement park" planet, hoping for some rest and relaxation—which of course turns into kidnapping and the near destruction of the ship. Filmation has always had a bad reputation for sloppy animation and stilted storytelling. Unfortunately, we my have found one of the episodes where this is somewhat deserved. In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, hosts Aaron Harvey and Adam Drosin talk the pros and cons of this animated sequel to "Shore Leave," and take you on a Journey from Star Trek to Isis (no, not that one) to Baywatch Nights. Yes, Baywatch Nights! Kirk gets to talk down a computer, Uhura sings, and Sulu is in two places at once. Grab your two-headed dragon and join the fun!

Star Trek: The Classic UK Comics, Vol. 1. When you think of Star Trek comics of the 1970s, the Gold Key comics, the comics that promoted Star Trek: The Motion Picture on the side of McDonald's Happy Meals, or the weekly newspaper strips may come to mind. But if you're from the UK, adventures from the pages of TV 21 and Joe 90 probably trump them all. Six months before the original Star Trek TV series premiered in England, British readers were introduced to the characters through an original comic book series. These stories were serialized, generally 2–3 pages in length, and appeared in 257 weekly magazines spanning five years and 37 storylines. In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, we're joined by Rich Handley to discuss the these psychedelic 1970s voyages. Rich is the man who undertook the Herculean task of compiling the 244-page tome. We explore the experience of delving into obscure cartoons and the nitty gritty of scanning 45-year-old newspapers to create a coffee table-quality book.

STLV and Optional Canon. Running Time: 44 minutes 4 seconds Over the past fifty years, Star Trek has developed a dense mythology. But at the same time, it has always tried to produce episodes and movies which stand on their own. In this episode of Stage Nine, John is joined by Lee Hutchison of The Nerd Party to discuss the concept of optional canon. We discuss whether or not some installments are designed to both with and without the previous one, and how that applies in particular to Star Trek Beyond. In news, Mike is joined by Adam Drosin of Saturday Morning Trek to recap the events of the 50th anniversary convention in Las Vegas. We discuss panels featuring Brannon Braga, Ronald D. Moore and Naren Shankar, and Mike shares his experience at the Ira Steven Behr photo op.

Convention season is officially upon us. Among the gatherings that await fans are Comic-Con International in San Diego, Star Trek Las Vegas, the gaming convention Gen Con in Indianapolis, Atlanta's Dragon Con, New York Comic Con, Mission New York by ReedPOP and CBS … and the list goes on and on. Today, pop-culture conventions of all kinds are commonplace; but in the 1970s they were new and different. These conventions weren't sponsored by financial entertainment juggernauts. Instead, they were organized by superfans—and in the case of Star Trek they had a secondary agenda: to keep the series alive! The phrase "Star Trek Lives!" was used on flyers advertising the first big Trek convention, held in New York City in 1972. It was also part of the Star Trek revival campaign undertaken by fans in the early 1970s. In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, host Aaron Harvey explores the early Star Trek conventions and see how they became the template for today's cons.

Star Trek: Planet of the Titans. When Bryan Fuller revealed the ship for the new television series, Star Trek: Discovery, it looked familiar; but not in the way you'd think. Only seven months after The Animated Series was canceled, Gene Roddenberry was back at Paramount working on something new: a Star Trek movie. The project died in development, but a year later he was piecing together another concept. For a big-screen adventure, you need a big-screen Enterprise. So he recruited Ken Adam, who designed the classic villains' lair in Goldfinger and Thunderball—as well as the war room in Dr. Strangelove, and illustrator Ralph McQuarrie, who was fresh off the soon-to-be-released Star Wars. What they created was a unique design that never got to be the hero it was meant to be. But now this design gets a second chance at life in Star Trek: Discovery. In this special bite-sized Saturday Morning Trek, join host Aaron Harvey on a quick journey down the road not taken … to a movie never made … Star Trek: Planet of the Titans.

The Magicks of Megas-Tu. The Enterprise takes a jaunt to the center of the galaxy to see what might still be happening at the point of the Big Bang. Soon after, the crew apparently parts ways with science. They find an energy–matter whirlwind and a fireworks display that rivals those of the US Bicentennial celebrations. Spock draws a pentagram on the floor, Sulu conjures up a woman, Kirk shoots magic lightning beams out of his hands, and a guy that's not Q puts humanity on trial. Oh, and did we mention Lucifer is there? In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek—the first to feature new co-host Adam Drosin—we dive into "The Magicks of Megas-Tu," one of the strangest, most transgressive bits of Star Trek ever committed to film. We discuss everything from Jacques Tati's gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless movie about confusion in the age of technology to English occultist author and ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley, as well as TV broadcast standards and the obsession with red, white and blue in the 1970s. So grab a stein of ale and settle into the wood-paneled den. It’s going to be a trip!

Interview with Dorothy Fontana. A television writer since the early 1960s, Dorothy "D.C." Fontana was the personal assistant to Gene Roddenberry. It was through this role that she became a prominent creative force behind Star Trek. Dorothy had a large part in developing the character of Spock and his family in her story "Journey to Babel," and is also responsible for many other classic episode of The Original Series. She continued her ties to Star Trek when she signed on to Star Trek: The Animated Series in 1973, for which she became story editor and associate producer. And along the way, she deepened Spock's backstory in her script for the most famous TAS episode of all: "Yesteryear." In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, none other than Dorothy herself drops by the Trek.fm wood-paneled den. We discuss the fan reaction to the announcement of an animated series, how a writers strike actually improved the quality of the scripts, and how she brought a strong female voice to other '70s shows like The Six Million Dollar Man and Land of Lost.

The Infinite Vulcan. On the planet Phylos, the Enterprise crew encounters a geneticist from the Eugenics Wars in the form of a clone. A giant clone. And he wants to duplicate Spock in his own image as part of a plan to create a galactic peacekeeping force. What could possibly go wrong? On this planet of sentient foliage, Kirk and crew must dodge purple plants that look like tribbles on stilts, flying dragon plants with springs instead of legs, and shields that nearly drain the dilithium crystals—all in an effort to save Spock! In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, we're joined by Andi VanderKolk as we try and weed through this giggle-worthy episode to find the katra at the center: What happens to a warrior who becomes obsolete in an age of peace? We also ponder how can we bring The Animated Series back into the fold in this new age of Star Trek. Saturday Morning Trek would also like to welcome aboard Mike Bovia, our second associate producer!

The Survivor. When the Enterprise rescues a one-man ship on the edge of the Romulan Neutral Zone, the crew is shocked to discover that the ship is registered to Carter Winston, a famous philanthropist who has been missing for five years. Even more shocked is his fianceé, Anne, a security officer aboard the Enterprise. How would you react if your long lost fiancé returned to you … and then said he can’t marry you? Ever. Oh yeah, and he’s an alien. And the human he is impersonating is rich—rich in a culture with no money. Those are just some of the issues tackled in “The Survivor.” In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, the wood-paneled den gets a visit from Andi VanderKolk of Women at Warp as we tackle this installment of The Animated Series.

More Tribbles, More Troubles. What happens when you feed a Tribble? If you said you get lots of little Tribbles, this time you'd be wrong! Revisit the world of prodigiously multiplying furry creatures in animated sequel to “The Trouble with Tribbles.” In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, Aaron Harvey and Darren Moser remember a time when you couldn't find the episode you wanted with just a click of a button, making “More Tribbles, More Troubles” less of a beat-for-beat rehash and more of a fun revisit of newly classic Trek. Cyrano Jones returns, Koloth faces Kirk in battle—despite Jadzia’s claims otherwise—and we see the evolution of Klingon weapons. We also discuss the merits of … green shirts? That's right, Anovos has announced TAS-inspired retro Starfleet uniform shirts—that even come in green!

The Lorelei Signal. What happens when the Enterprise visits a planet populated entirely by women? All of the men lose the ability to think straight … because it's the '70s, you know.

Andy Mangels Interview, Part 1. Tun-Tun, Stormy, Ploof, and Steve the Vulcan. These are names every child of the late '60s and early '70s would have known if the first attempt to create an animated Star Trek show had succeeded. But as history would have it, the pencil-and-ink voyages of the USS Enterprise would take another course. In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, Aaron Harvey is joined by Andy Mangels, co-author of Lou Scheimer: Creating The Filmation Generation, for a journey into what might have been. Andy shares with us the real-life story behind the animated series we did get, and also helps us get to know Lou Scheimer, the man behind Filmation Productions. It's thanks to Scheimer that Filmation became the powerhouse animation company that produced everything from the first Superman cartoon to appear on TV to the '80s icon He-Man!

One of Our Planets Is Missing. What happens when the Enterprise encounters a living cloud that feeds on the planets that lie in its path?

In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, hosts Aaron Harvey and Darren Moser review this animated adventure that follows all the tenants of a good TOS episode. The crew puts their best foot forward offering solutions to the problem at hand, revisits a friend from Kirk's past, and shows off a part of the ship we've never seen before! In other news, there actually is news about The Animated Series just in time for the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek, and we will you in on why it might make you feel Blu.

Yesteryear. Sarek, Amanda, Vulcan, sehlats, The Guardian of Forever, taunting Vulcan children. This famous episode of TAS has it all, and stretches back to TOS with ramifications that affect the future and even alternate timelines. In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, hosts Aaron Harvey and Darren Moser are joined by Melodic Trek's Brandon-Shea Mutala to discuss the quintessential TAS episode "Yesteryear," in which Spock must travel back in time to his childhood to keep his younger self from dying. In the process, he sets into motion a chain of events that lead to his being replaced on the Enterprise by an Andorian—and giving future writers numerous gems to work with in the process. We also discuss the recording sessions, the fan-inspired sehlat design, the consequences of time travel, and the the many, many ways this episode cements The Animated Series as Star Trek canon. So after you've watched "The Door to Winter" from Season Six of Enterprise, join us as we explore Spock's childhood and the dawn of the Orion civilization.

Starfleet Career Path, Part 2.The Next Generation, and the other 24th Century Star Trek series, can sometimes be inconsistent with how they show a career path in Starfleet. Phillip, Daniel, and Darren finish their focus on the "colors" of careers by looking at the gold shirts of the Enterprise-D and Enterprise-E: the engineering/operations and security officers. They go from the rank of ensign to the upper ranks, examining life as a yellow shirt on the flagship - as well as the need to create more colors to better describe one's job.Earl Grey also focuses on the crewmen who do the real work on the ship, to include the very important transport chiefs (other than Chief O'Brien). The trio take turns discussing what their own career paths would be on TNG if they began as young, fresh-from-the-Academy ensigns. Join Earl Grey as they go into the "lower decks" and talk Starfleet Career Paths, Part 2. HostsDaniel Proulx, Phillip Gilfus, & Darren MoserEditor / ProducerDarren MoserExecutive ProducersNorman C.
